Seems WAY too easy to cheat. You see the weigh in method?

You need to take a picture of a scale. You seriously can't figure this out?

A difference of 4% loss doesnt show that much...
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

theyre not idiots, theyll see that...
besides the fact your figure will look the same
I'm not saying you can put on weight, I'm just saying it's quite easy to cheat a few pounds.

http://www.dietbet.com/games/4709?utm_source=DietBet&utm_campaign=6bf6516ac6-Games_Starting_Soon_01-03&utm_medium=email

seems like a cool idea. certainly a great incentive
ok, so my 2 cents...

right now there is 34K in there...looking at some large bets that ended, about 53-59% of the people completed them. assuming the bet starts with 700 people, you are splitting the pot of 35K with 413 people which means each person gets $84 with a net gain of $34. Losing 4% body weight in 28 days is not very difficult (for some) but for $34, thats not much of a drive/incentive IMHO.
If there was more money to be won, i would certainly join something like this.

dont forget you dont want to lose your 50.
nobody said you could make a living off this, just a little push to lose some weight
